Amos 8

1 Nga liye sie pac aruruma sin LEUM GOD Fulat. Ke aruruma se inge nga liye sie fotoh in fokinsak.

These things the Lord shewed to me: and behold a hook to draw down the fruit.

2 Na LEUM GOD El siyuk, “Amos, mea kom liye?” Ac nga topuk, “Fotoh in fokinsak se.” Na LEUM GOD El fahk nu sik, “Pacl safla lun mwet luk, mwet Israel, summa. Nga fah tia sifil ekulla nunak luk in kalyaelos.

And he said: What seest thou, Amos? And I said: A hook to draw down fruit. And the Lord said to me: The end is come upon my people Israel: I will not again pass by them any more.

3 In len sac, on engan ke inkul sin tokosra fah ekla nu ke pusren tung. Monin mwet misa ac fah oalik acn uh. Ke pacl se sisila elos, ac fah wangin pusra lohngyuk.”

And the hinges of the temple shall screak in that day, saith the Lord God: many shall die: silence shall be cast in every place.

4 Porongo ma inge, kowos su lolongya mwet enenu, ac srike in kunausla mwet sukasrup in facl se inge.

Hear this, you that crush the poor, and make the needy of the land to fail,

5 Kowos sifacna nunku ouinge: “Pahtla kufwen Malem Sasu in tari, tuh kut in kukakin wheat lasr uh. Ac safla ngac len Sabbath, kut in ku in sifil mutawauk kuka? Na kut ac kulak molo uh in yohk, ac orekmakin mwe srikasrak sutuu, ac urokla mwe paun in kiapu mwet moul yorosr.

Saying: When will the month be over, and we shall sell our wares: and the sabbath, and we shall open the corn: that we may lessen the measure, and increase the sicle, and may convey in deceitful balances,

6 Kut ku in kukakin wheat kolukla ke mol yohk. Kut fah molela kutu mwet sukasrup su tia ku in akfalye soemoul lalos — finne molin sori se elos tia ku in molela — tuh elos in mwet kohs lasr.”

That we may possess the needy for money, and the poor for a pair of shoes, and may sell the refuse of the corn?

7 LEUM GOD, su mwet Israel elos akfulatye, El orala sie wulela ku ac fahk, “Nga fah tiana mulkunla orekma koluk lalos.

The Lord hath sworn against the pride of Jacob: surely I will never forget all their works.

8 Ouinge faclu fah kusrusryak, ac mwet nukewa ac fah tuninfongla. Facl se inge nufon ac fah usrusryak — ac fah mutyak ac putati oana Infacl Nile.

Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein: and rise up altogether as a river, and be cast out, and run down as the river of Egypt?

9 Pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah oru faht uh in tili ke infulwen len, ac faclu ac fah lohsrla ke srakna len. Nga, LEUM GOD Fulat, pa fahk ouinge.

And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that the sun shall go down at midday, and I will make the earth dark in the day of light:

10 Nga fah ekulla len in kufwa lowos nu ke len in asor, ac on engan lowos nu ke pusren tung. Nga fah oru kowos in mangsrasraela insifowos ac nukum nuknuk yohk eoa, ac kowos fah oana papa ac nina su mwemelil ke wen sefanna natultal misa. Ma nukewa ma sikyak ke len sac mwe asor mukefanna.

And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation: and I will bring up sackcloth upon every back of yours, and baldness upon every head: and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the latter end thereof as a bitter day.

11 “Pacl se ac fah tuku ke nga fah supwama sracl nu fin acn uh. Mwet uh ac fah masrinsral, tuh tia nu ke mwe mongo. Elos ac fah malu, tuh tia nu ke mwe nim. Elos ac masrinsral ac malu nu ke kas in luti sin LEUM GOD. Nga, LEUM GOD, pa fahk ouinge.

Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will send forth a famine into the land: not a famine of bread, nor a thirst of water, but of hearing the word of the Lord.

12 Mwet uh ac fah foroht forma liki Meoa Misa nu ke Meoa Mediterranean, ac ke tafunyen epang nu ke layen kutulap. Elos ac fah suk kas in luti sin LEUM GOD yen nukewa, tuh elos ac fah tiana konauk.

And they shall move from sea to sea, and from the north to the east: they shall go about seeking the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.

13 In len sac, finne mukul fusr ac mutan fusr su ku in mano, elos fah mulalla ke malu.

In that day the fair virgins, and the young men shall faint for thirst.

14 Elos su fulahk ke ma sruloala lun Samaria ac fahk, ‘Ke inen god lun Dan,’ ku ‘Ke inen god lun Beersheba,’ elos ac fah ikori ac tia sifil tukakek.”

They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say: Thy God, O Dan, liveth: and the way of Bersabee liveth: and they shall fall, and shall rise no more.
